Hautel Couture's boutique flagship, Dream, has followed its first property in midtown Manhattan with a sleek, glass-wrapped edifice in Bangkok www.dreambkk.com. Its resident manager, Adi Jaya, is a dapper Balinese who trained at the sumptuous Asian chain Amanresorts, so you can expect your total experience — accommodation, service, dining — to be sublime. Inside the guest rooms, the accent is purely contemporary: white walls and leather chaises, cerulean lighting, Egyptian cotton linen tucked into platform beds, iPod nanos and 42-inch plasma TVs, while the two suites boast deep-soak baths and bars stocked with Veuve Clicquot and 42 Below. The overall effect is a cool look and a pampered feel. Vikram's next undertaking is a hotel in central London. The Dream lives on.
